Yes, those are the seed heads. Various geraniums are also sometimes
called Cranesbills, as the seed heads were thought to look like the long
beaks of cranes or storks. When the seeds (the dark knobby bits) are
ripe enough, the pointy part splits and springs open to fling the seeds
around.

Er... they work for me, if a little out of focus. But I can't answer
the OP's question as I'm no geranium expert (is it in fact a
pelargonium? Not that it makes much difference in this situation).

I can paste the links into my browser but can't click them as I do with
normal links.

Based on the leaves, they are geraniums as in a species whose
scientific name is Geranium.
The image is very blurred but yes, they are the seed pods.

Pelargoniums are popularly referred to as geraniums but are unrelated
and misnamed.

The main thing I remember about pelargoniums (my grandmother had them)
is that they smell decidedly unpleasant.
Real geraniums, however, are pleasant in all respects.

Yes, sow once fully ripe, they will lift off the base and start to curl
upwards.

Thank you all so much for the information and the helpful links. Yes it is a geranium know as cranesbill.
